Both "Метель" and "Б-К" are based on mistaken identities.  Can you use the "Date Night" (Steve Carell and Tina Fey are mistaken for spies)?  I'm sure there are others.

Common cultural references are getting harder and harder to come by, especially for the older Slavist.

I can still use Seinfeld and the Simpsons but that is clearly wearing thin. Thirty Rock? Harry Potter has limited application. 

Can anyone suggest a Romantic Comedy a class of undergraduates will sure fire recognize? I need one for "Метель" and "Барышня-Крестьянка."
